CBH also is hiring two loan officers. None of the applicants for the sales positions need to have a real estate license. CBH will train everyone who is hired.

Job applicants are encouraged to bring something with them to the job fair that symbolizes “home,” and go through a series of interview stations where they will present a resume, take a CBH quiz, engage in an one-on-one interview, discuss their personal motivations and inspirations in life, and more.

Starting on May 1, CBH Homes will be expanding its service hours at the valley’s five Square One Centers to 9 a.m.-8 p.m. daily, seven days a week, to accommodate Idahoans’ busy schedules and enhance convenience. That’s one reason they’re hiring more people. Another reason is that “it’s an amazing time to buy – with incredibly low interest rates, great home loan packages available, an $8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers and many attractive homes available at very competitive prices,” said Ronda Conger, CBH Vice President.

“Come show us why you’re the right person to join our team,” she said. “With more than 15,000 people out of work in Ada and Canyon counties right now, we are expecting to meet some great people who are ready to hit the ground running.”

Despite the sluggish economy, CBH is continuing to build new homes ranging in price from $89,990 to the low $200,000 range in 45 communities throughout the Treasure Valley. With its expanded staff, CBH is gearing up for a strong summer season, which indicates at least one real estate company is anticipating that the economy is turning the corner towards improvement in the Treasure Valley.

The job fair will be held at CBH headquarters, 1977 E. Overland Rd., Meridian, ID 83642 – 6609. For more information, please call Ronda Conger, 208-288-5560.
